About MAX SOUND™
MAX SOUND is to audio what HD (High Definition) is to video. In the past, delivering "high definition" audio on a mass scale has been improbable because of the huge amounts of bandwidth required to do so. Now however, MAX SOUND is the solution to provide high definition audio to an anxious global audience. MAX SOUND is a proprietary, patent-pending process and technology with a significant competitive advantage because it converts audio to the perfect form that was created in the acoustic space it was originally recorded or performed in. For any audio file - MAX SOUND corrects and optimizes harmonic content, greatly enhances acoustic accuracy, reduces ear fatigue, restores lost content, repairs and improves dynamic range and eliminates the destructive effects of compression with no increase in file size or transmission bandwidth.
MAX SOUND requires no encoding/decoding process and needs no additional hardware after processing and during playback. Audio processed with MAX SOUND - voice, instrument, or special effects - sound refreshingly clear, realistic, and natural creating an optimal live sound field throughout every listening environment – from the corners of a theater; on your living room couch; to the back seat of your car.
MAX SOUND is compatible with all existing sound technologies, with minimal cost to users providing an incomparable auditory experience. With the advent of the mp3 and HD technology there is a demand for the "best" in AV delivery systems. Mp3 technology has forced the consumer to accept degraded audio in a small file package for convenience sake. MAX SOUND, applied to mp3 audio, delivers CD quality or better in the same bandwidth size as the original mp3 audio giving web based delivery systems like iTunes, the opportunity to deliver much better sounding audio without affecting cost. With HD broadcasts now mandatory, audio must be compressed (degraded) in order to fit in the allotted bandwidth. MAX SOUND doesn't compress the audio, it restores content that is lost due to the existing compression types providing a major solution to a major problem that only MAX SOUND technology can provide.
On the Web, MAX SOUND will soon be delivered to consumers via a secure server allowing users to apply the process to their audio in real time. Home audio enthusiasts, amateur and semi-pro musicians, home movie enthusiasts, YouTube users, and consumers with old audio and video recordings will soon be able to dramatically improve their audio for modest $1 to $10 fees on a White Labeled So Act Network at http://MaxSound.com
In the motion picture industry, producers and directors are motivated to deliver thrilling, innovative and intense experiences. Distributors are motivated to bring the largest possible audience to the theatre, to maximize revenues and recoup their investment as quickly as possible. Movie Executives seek to generate excitement and word-of-mouth about their movies and if possible, to win awards. MAX SOUND gives them the ultimate new tool to enhance the audience experience while offering distributors the ability to advertise superior sound quality in their theatres.
MAX SOUND technology adds value to all types of audio, in addition to being particularly valuable in improving the playback quality of compressed (low bandwidth) audio such as downloaded music (mp3), portable music players (iPods), cell phones, satellite radio, satellite television, streaming internet, VOIP, and cable television. For example, a listener using a portable mp3 player with MAX SOUND will experience sound quality that is as good or better than the original CD it was converted from, similar to hearing musicians playing in the same room. MAX SOUND restores the original recorded acoustical space in any listening environment. A listener using a cell phone with MAX SOUND will hear the person's voice clearly, as if he is speaking directly in front of him. MAX SOUND determines what the sound was like when it was originally recorded and then intelligently repairs, strengthens, and enhances the audio to eliminate imperfections that have entered during the recording and transmission process. For the motion picture and the electronic game markets, MAX SOUND technology is customer-ready today.
MAX SOUND technology will soon be available to the general public via the internet allowing the average musician with a band, the opportunity to make their music sound as if it were recorded in a professional studio. Songwriters can benefit by having a much more "polished", great sounding production. Amateur film makers can use MAX SOUND for a small reasonable fee to achieve superior quality audio that normally would cost thousands of dollars.
MAX SOUND is in the process of licensing the technology to creators of film and music content in their final products. MAX SOUND technology is now available fully secured and hack proof for professional Music Producers to process audio for a fee or to lease a system for a substantial monthly fee and MAX SOUND will share revenue from each project.
Consumer Electronics Market - MAX SOUND can be embedded in consumer electronics such as mp3 players, DVD players, DVD recorders, audio/video receivers, television sets, set-top boxes, video game consoles, personal audio and video players, personal computers and, in-car entertainment systems.
Recording Market - MAX SOUND can be used by professional recording and post-production studios to enhance modern recordings and to restore legacy recordings.
Broadcasting Market - MAX SOUND can be used by broadcasters to enable the transmission of the highest fidelity audio using the least amount of bandwidth.
Motion Picture Market - We provide audio technology, products, and services that enable the production and improved distribution of soundtracks.
